EVE General Discussion

The Federation Fleet warps in. Immeadiately they are zerg'd by frigates. A lone cyno is dropped. Local begins to spike and Carriers and Supers are dropped which dwarf even the largest Federation ship. Doomsdays eliminate the largest of the fleet, and the rest are quickly crushed beneath the horde of immortal pilots who reship and rejoin the fight. In the end, the field is salvaged revealing that Federation ships drop **** loot, and the lost hulls of the victors are reimbursed by their alliances and insurance. Local chat is spammed with obsenities and Fukung links from the surviving Federation lifeboats.

Sansha would assimilate the Borg and anyone else that came along.

Pff. Going by the record of all previous Starfleet captains, they'd arrive on grid, be trolled in local, get horribly upset by the lack of tact and diplomacy, come to the forums and whine, be trolled even more, and then rage-quit after having declared everyone as hopeless psychos.

EVE wins!

Fun little fact about Starfleet's weapon systems.. they have a range of about 10km actually.. STO is based very heavily on how the tech of the series works.. now add into that say, a tornado armed with nice 1400mms, firing at 120km range..

sure they can try and warp over, but only if they aren't scrammed by a ton of our frigates swarming around them, messing up their warp drives.

And while the weapon systems in eve may seem 'primitive', they aren't all that primitive, even the most basic weapons, projectile guns from the Minmatar are loaded with very high tech ammo using exotic particles and nuclear weapons and other such toys.
(EMP rounds, Phased Plasma, Fusion rounds, Hail, Barrage, Tremor, Quake.. )
These would certainly put more than a little dent into star trek shields.

Also, ST weapons are rather specific, phasers are good against shields, but don't do that much on armoured hulls. While ST torps are useless against shields, but do more damage on armour.

The only advantages starfleet would have is superior scanning ( no afk cloaky againt them! ) and interstellar mobility.

Eve capsuleer advantages are:
Superior numbers
Faster production of ships
Superior Firepower ( bigger guns, longer ranged guns )
Superior Electronic Warfare ( especially points and neuts )
Bigger ships
Much more efficient repair of ships during combat. SF ships would be effectively only shield buffer tanks with no logi backup.
Faster ships in tactical mode

Star Trek ships fear antimatter, and depend a lot on speed. A Vindicator, which is almost twice as big as the Enterprise, locked and loaded with some faction antimatter and a 90% web would be the Federation's worst nightmare

Anything piloted by James T Kirk will win. Just because he always wins. Any Eve ship he goes up against will have some malfunction or he will fabricate a doomsday weapon out of a dilithium crystal, a piece of wool and a used condom. Or something. He always wins. It's just the way it goes.

And then the The God-Emperor's Glorious Imperial Navy tears out of the warp, His Sons at the forefront, unbidden and unbound much like this reply, accidentally ramming and running through the entire Star fleet and its counterparts, before compliance tithes are paid with Minmatar flesh to man His Most Blessed Field Artillery, Caldari brains and spirit are tithed for His Most Omnipotent Administratum, all the while our alliance friends beyond the highsec borders are wracked with rampaging grimdark warp shenanigans, with wishes for Trolls, talking cats and Unicorns quickly silenced.

As for the Amarr, well...

I was there,

I was there the day Horus slew the Empress.

'pologies, you did say "vs Sci-Fi"

Aren't we forgetting the Transporter technology? Why not beam an armed boarding crew into the enemy vessel, or beam a torpedo onto the engineering decks.

And why focus so much on The Federation, why not go against all of ST. Many other vessels have cloaks as well (The Klingon). The Borg have what is basically an adaptive invulnerability field that reaches 100% resistance. Hell, maybe the Ferengi would take over New Eden's market and crush capsuleer manufacturing and distribution.

Don't forget Wesley crusher. His school science project will foil any plans u make,
